NIN superfan can't sing for a nickel, starts band anyway. Plays to preteens in his basement with other people who become way more famous than him. Discovers post-rock five years too late. Funds a label with dirty AIDS money. Walks away from dirty AIDS money, bankrupts label.

That last bit made it too easy. Also "dirt AIDS money" mischaracterizes the situation. & it feels icky.

I'm lost on that one.

Actual stage banter from band's frontman: "tonight we have death metal for the guys and, for the ladies, cock rock!"


Sadly it accurately sums them up.

I am not the one that made the situation icky, kbit! It did make it too easy, though.

Slowdive

It's Geoff Rickly, by the way.

Yeah but you did say "dirty AIDS money" and without context that sounds shitty, and it's kind of wrong. Martin jacked the price of a drug that's used to treat opportunistic infections, which people who have AIDS are highly susceptible to. The media labeled the drug as an "AIDS drug" because that's what makes it sound the most terrible. Not defending what he did, just taking issue with the way it's being described.

Like Spinal Tap but kind'a darker

Perhaps it was over the top, kbit. I apologize. Really.

Okay,

High-school horndog feeds every Morrissey song through a DS-1 whilst playing up the tortured artist bit... for his bro's GF. Gets older, adds an RV-5 to the mix, calls it art, starts crying in the middle of shows.

It's cool man, I didn't mean to come off super harsh, just words and perspectives and biases and bullshit

The Ninja Turtle got it

Anarcho-pop weirdo writes songs with crazy cadences, pronounciations, and glottal stops to too many string arrangements and electronic beats.
